Luck Off!

Posted by Puyan on June 5th, 2010. Tagged:

Came across an interesting article today, where psychologists did experiments on people that believed that they were lucky and unlucky. So what characteristic traits did these lucky people have?

Well they discovered 4 main ones from "lucky" people;

1. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities.
2. They make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition.
3. They create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations.
4. They adopt a resilient attitude towards bad luck and transforms it into good.

Tru' Grind

Yesterday had a real nasty day where nothing seemed to work. In fact the past week has been this way, and its continuously bringing up really tough spots and some harsh bad beats, and a lower distribution of premium hands end game.

The day started off with me not cashing in my first 2 sets of $16s. Losing 16 SNGs in a row isn't a great feeling, but it really did help in not knowing how much I was down. Eventually, I pulled it back to only losing $24 for the day.

Took 2 days off during the weekend to hang out with some friends in London and watch the football. Yes, FOOT-ball, you yanks, where we use our feet! My friends are Korean, so we had a nice day watching the Korea match then the England one.

Get To Where You Wanna Be

Its been a long time bloggin' (for me anyways), and I'm now currently 18 tabling $16s, and gonna start mixing in some $27s. At the beginning of the year, switching to Stars and Turbo SNGs was something that I wanted to do, and I wanted to get to the $16s and eventually Supernova. Its funny how I started with the $3s, and slowly moved up up up! I wonder how many guys have done the same thing as me?

1/2 Year Report

When I started playing, I quickly decided that one of my goals was to make enough money to be able to travel and visit my "international" friends. One of the benefits of playing is that I can still earn my moneyz where ever I am in the world with my laptop. Having this freedom is great, and with nothing locking me down I'm free to go whenever I want, for however long I want.
